It is recommended to eat the Milk Pie when it is warm. The pie should be folded and that depends on how thoroughly you spread phyllo. Try to make as many wrinkles as possible. Another vital moment is to stop baking in due time. If the filling puffs up, the pie should be taken off from the oven immediately.
